Utah Windriders Association

Looks like Powder Mountain had a great first snowfall. I am not sure if it is enough to ride, but I think we all would appreciate a scouting report. Same goes for Skyline.

Looks like you could ride in snow/grass mix at Park City this afternoon, take your rock skis as there is no base. Watch the UDOT cams for clearing.

Kenny,

Two of my buddies alpine skied there yesterday. Sounds like 1.5 - 2 feet. Rock skis for sure. But I think it's more than doable. In town at Park City You're looking at a 6 inch layer of light snow. I think you would just punch through. I bet Lake Creek has 6-10 inches, but haven't been up there yet.

I was up at powder mountain today, i dont think i hit a section with LESS than 3 feet, 4 in places, however- have not been to the snowkite area. can say the wind was looking GOOD this morning.. but not knowing the area and not wanting to ride alone i neglected to bring my kites. DID NOT hit anything, and face shots all the way down

EDIT* also, slight wind pack was already forming, if the winds were steady up there today i'd imagine the snowpack would be dense enough to support you without punching through very soon.. however with the warming trend coming who knows how long it will be good for

Chris and Erik,

I appreciate the reports!

Erik, the wind direction was out of the north today which is hateful direction for PowMow, so you didn't miss out by not bringing your kites.

Thanks again,

Kenny
